Bachelor of Arts - Quantitative Studies

Quantitative Studies concentration offers students interested in mathematics, statistics, computer science, or other quantitative methods the opportunity to apply these methods to the study of a wide variety of phenomena, which originate in the natural or social sciences, or, for that matter, in the arts or in the study of languages and literature.

It develops competence in quantitative methods, problem-solving skills, ability to interpret and communicate quantitative results, and understanding of applications of quantitative analysis. The concentration prepares graduates for future training or careers in mathematics, computer science, actuarial sciences, education, medicine, law, and economics, among others. The goal of the Quantitative Studies concentration is to provide the student with an opportunity to observe and participate in the dialogue between two fields of study which may have very different modes of thought, but find certain problems of common interest. The Senior Thesis is the natural culmination of this process, and it is strongly suggested that the student’s thesis be on a topic associated with this concentration.
